Before students attend their college visit, they should create an objective evaluation system to help list important factors worth investigating, leaving space for additional comments. Both you and your parent/guardian can rate the school after your visit. A numerical scale 1-5 is an easy way to do this: 

1 - No way;  2 - Eh; 3 - Others are probably better;  4 - I can see myself here; 5 - This is IT!

Colleges are complex institutions. It really isn’t possible to know everything about a college after a brief visit, and even students who have been there for several years might also have a hard time giving you an accurate character reference. Creating an evaluation system is a good way to gather clues about a college.
